Phon D Sunset

I made a last-minute decision to head out toward the Phon D Sutton Recreation area and ended up paying the price by having to nearly run up a nearby hill to get set up for the last colors of sunset. Situated along the banks of the Lower Salt River the area is an oasis for canoes, tubing and fishing.

Watson Lake

Located 4 miles outside of Prescott, Arizona, Watson Lake is one of two reservoirs at the Granite Dells. The lake and surrounding park are open year-round and are a popular spot for hiking, canoeing, and boating. The reservoir has an average depth of 50 feet and was purchased, along with the surrounding land, by the City of Prescott in 1997 to be used as a recreational area.

A simple case of the right place at the right time I managed to catch a mix of clouds, rain, sunlight, and a rainbow crossing the face of the Superstition Mountains.

Superstition Nights

Our monsoon season has pretty much ended here in Phoenix, but we had storms roll through on and off a few days ago. After watching the show from home for a while I decided I needed to get out and capture the scene from somewhere other than my own bedroom window. I headed out to the Superstition Mountains about 3am and stayed there until just after 6 as the storm was abating the light from the day started affecting my long exposures. This image is a 3 shot blend that I thought worked best, but there certainly wasn’t a shortage of amazing photos to be had.

Hollywood Nights

Sitting on approximately 3000 acres of donated land overlooking downtown Los Angeles, the Griffith Park Observatory first opened in 1935 and sees 1.6 million visitors every year. The observatory contains numerous exhibits and more than 7 million people have viewed the universe through it’s 12 inch Zeiss refractor telescope, more than any other telescope in the world. Given its Hollywood Hills setting it’s no surprise that the observatory has featured prominently in numerous tv and movie productions including multiple Terminator movies, San Andreas and La La Land.

Boyce Thompson Milky Way

We have at least three significant wildfires burning east and northeast of Phoenix. Record drought and unusually hot weather have made these fires extremely difficult to contain. After spending a day taking some pictures at South Mountain I had the idea to try and get a time-lapse of the fires from an area well away from the firefighting operations. Photos posted by others showed visible flames from Apache Junction and East Mesa so at midnight I decided to drive out to a parking area across from Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Whether the fires had died down a bit by that point or I just didn’t have a good vantage point the end result was that I couldn’t even see a glow from my vantage point. My location was well outside of Phoenix and about 3.5 miles outside of Superior, AZ. As such there was very little light pollution and while a view of the fire was not to be seen I had an amazing view of the stars and the Milky Way.

Horseshoe Bend

Carved in part by the Colorado River, Horseshoe Bend sits 4 miles outside of Page Arizona. The stone walls tower 1000 feet above the water below offering a distinct view of the river that has become increasingly popular over the past 10 years. A short walk from the parking lot brings you to a railing roughly centered in the bend and stretching about 20 feet, but past that you can wander right up to the edge of the drop on either side. Although we arrived with plenty of late afternoon sunlight left, Taylor and I had no problem spending the time exploring the area until well after the sun had gone down.

The Lodge

I think it’s fair to say that Taylor and I could have stayed here forever. Telluride offered amazing weather (I got to drive in the snow for the first time since 2006) great food and there just weren’t any bad views up on the mountain.

Red Mountain at Dusk

This photo is a good representation of how lighting can change for the better, even after the sun has set. I got to this location at the south end of the Salt River later then I meant to as I had stopped at my old address to pick up some mail and visit my two favorite furballs. As I was setting up, a man and his daughter were collecting mud from the banks of the river for some sort of project. The man mentioned that I was just a little late for the sunset and I acknowledged that he was right. I took a few shots from their location and then moved to another spot, often used to launch kayaks and small boats. The location provided a well framed shot of the Red Mountain with the water on the bottom and the branches of the tree on top. I probably debated even taking the picture for about 4 minutes but finally decided I might as well since I’d driven all the way out here. After a little back and forth a 30 second exposure stopped down to f 9.0 gave me what I was looking for and I was able to pull enough light and color back out of the scene to make it work.
